Lithuania's government has pledged support for the establishment of an education and culture center in the Polish city of Suwalki, where a Lithuanian kindergarten would be opened, Deividas Matulionis, the Lithuanian government's vice chancellor, said after meeting with representatives of the Lithuanian community in Poland.

"Such a proposal is absolutely rational. Our consul is now working on this matter, and we are in contact with Suwalki municipality on the provision of premises," Matulionis told BNS Lithuania. "We will try to mediate as much as possible for it to become a reality, and we’ll speak with the Polish government institutions."

According to Matulionis, there's a clear need for a Lithuanian kindergarten in Suwalki and the need for a school stills needs to be determined.

If such a center was opened, it could be supported by the Lithuanian Ministries of Culture, Education and Foreign Affairs, the vice chancellor said.
